The Japanese are more skillful and technical and should be able to control the game. The US is bigger and more physical and energetic, like Canada, who just showed they were a match for the US. Japan beat Canada 2-1 earlier in the tournatment, though.
Not sure what the big deal is. I've seen plenty of women walk around in sports bras after womens and co-ed games. Not sure it's any different then a guy taking off his shirt. Flay jumping on a table and standing on a cutting board is in a completely different league. Kinda funny how he's the most serious of the US Iron Chefs now, though :lol2:
